At this time a few suggestions in regard to
the relation of the Students Association with
the VOLANTE will certainly not be out of
place. At a meeting last term an amendment
was made which placed the responsibility of
controling the business of VOLANTE entirely
in the hands of the business manager. This
we regard as a very wise move for as has often
been said, "what is everybody's business is
nobody's business." On the event of the resignation
of Mr. Peterson as business manager,
some parties were still farther in favor of making
the office of business manager and editor
in chief of the same, that is giving the entire
control of the paper to the latter officer and allowing
him to choose all other officers. Now
it is easier to make enactments than to unmake them,
and as the college paper is in
reality, under the present regime published by
tlie students association, they should be somewhat
careful about delegating too much power
to any single individual. We would also urge
a few reasons for this position. First in order
to make the paper a success we must have the
support of the student body and the closer the
connection between the Association and VOLANTE
the greater interest may be expected.
Then in connection with the proposition to
vest supreme authority in the editor in chief
it was also propose to stimulate him by allowing
him all the paper earned above its expenses.
With the present outlook that the paper
cannot fail to pay expenses this would be a
great incentive to an editor for, though the
honor of the position is supposed in most
cases to be sufficient inducement to warrant
the best exertions of the person invested with
this honor, money is never an unwelcome
guest. Still it hardly seems fair that one person
should be paid for his time while five
others work for practice or glory, and we admit
some anxiety as to whether the associate
editors might not think that the man who gets
the money should do the work. With these
suggestions we hope the Association will consider
well the result before taking too rash a
step.
--------------------
During the greater part of last week the
University was honored by the presence of the
State board of regents who were here in session.
The students were very much pleased
by the encouraging remarks of Judge Edgerton
and Prof. Free and if we may believe reports
the board was as much pleased with the
students and their work. From the remarks
of President Grose we glean that if the University
does not receive a liberal appropriation
it will be the fault of the legislature, not
of the board.
